Photosynthesis is a very efficient photochemical process. Nevertheless, plants emit some of
the absorbed energy as light quanta. This luminescence is emitted, predominantly, by …

In the photosynthesis process, part of the absorbed photon energy in photosystem II (PSII)
may be reemitted as chlorophyll a fluorescence (ChlF). Environmental and plant …

Water deficit is one of the most important environmental factors limiting sustainable crop
yields and it requires a reliable tool for fast and precise quantification. In this work we use …

Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) belongs to the common cultivated grass species in
Central and Western Europe. Despite being considered to be susceptible to drought, it is …

Microcystis is a genus of unicellular blue-green algae that is toxic and can be troublesome in
freshwater, especially where organic material is abundant. The aim of this work was to …

This paper provides a review of kinetic modelling of plant metabolic pathways as a tool for
analysing their control and regulation. An overview of different modelling strategies is …

Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is one of the more popular grass species in Europe.
It is commonly used for starting lawns in urban areas, where plant growth is limited by many …

Biological samples continuously emit ultra-weak photon emission (UPE, or “biophotons”)
which stems from electronic excited states generated chemically during oxidative …

Menadione (MD) is an effective cytotoxic drug able to produce intracellularly large amounts
of superoxide anion. Quercetin (QC), a widely distributed bioflavonoid, can exert both …

Key message T orreya grandis seedlings showed significant gender difference under
drought stress and females had a better performance in the process of photosynthesis …
